"...Still very much loved and still very much missed. A very young, Al Roker, Sr. Admiring his bride. These two were such a wonderful couple."

He added that though his parents were not without their flaws, they worked through hard times and celebrated the good times, adding that they were proud of their six children and all their grandchildren.

Raising Nick has been challenging, but also filled with joy and many lessons, with Roker revealing that sometimes he tended to get a little short with his son and that it has taught him to learn to be a little more patient with people.
